H2985
It happened, when Jabin
H4428
king
H2674
of Hazor
H8085
heard
H7971
of it, that he sent
H3103
to Jobab
H4428
king
H4068
of Madon,
H4428
to the king
H8110
of Shimron,
H4428
to the king
H407
of Achshaph,
2
H4428
and to the kings
H6828
who were on the north,
H2022
in the hill country,
H6160
in the Arabah
H5045
south
H3672
of Chinneroth,
H8219
in the lowland,
H5299
and in the heights
H1756
of Dor
H3220
on the west,
3
H3669
to the Canaanite
H4217
on the east
H3220
and on the west,
H567
and the Amorite,
H2850
and the Hittite,
H6522
and the Perizzite,
H2983
and the Jebusite
H2022
in the hill country,
H2340
and the Hivite
H2768
under Hermon
H776
in the land
H4709
of Mizpah.
4
H3318
They went out,
H4264
they and all their armies
H7227
with them, many
H5971
people,
H2344
even as the sand
H3220
that is on the
H8193
seashore
H7230
in multitude,
H3966
with very
H7227
many
H5483
horses
H7393
and chariots.
5
H4428
All these kings
H3259
met together;
H935
and they came
H2583
and encamped
H3259
together
H4325
at the waters
H4792
of Merom,
H3898
to fight
H3478
with Israel.
6
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said
H3091
to Joshua,
H3372
"Don't be afraid
H6440
because
H4279
of them; for tomorrow
H6256
at this time,
H5414
I will deliver them up
H2491
all slain
H6440
before
H3478
Israel.
H6131
You shall hamstring
H5483
their horses
H8313
and burn
H4818
their chariots
H784
with fire."
7
H3091
So Joshua
H935
came,
H5971
and all the people
H4421
of war
H4325
with him, against them by the waters
H4792
of Merom
H6597
suddenly,
H5307
and fell on them.
8
H3068
Yahweh
H5414
delivered
H3027
them into the hand
H3478
of Israel,
H5221
and they struck
H7291
them, and chased
H7227
them to great
H6721
Sidon,
H4956
and to Misrephoth Maim,
H1237
and to the valley
H4708
of Mizpeh
H4217
eastward.
H5221
They struck
H7604
them until they left
H8300
them none remaining.
9
H3091
Joshua
H6213
did
H3068
to them as Yahweh
H559
told
H6131
him. He hamstrung
H5483
their horses
H8313
and burnt
H4818
their chariots
H784
with fire.
10
H3091
Joshua
H7725
turned back
H6256
at that time,
H3920
and took
H2674
Hazor,
H5221
and struck
H4428
its king
H2719
with the sword:
H2674
for Hazor
H6440
used
H7218
to be the head
H4467
of all those kingdoms.
11
H5221
They struck
H5315
all the souls
H6310
who were in it with the edge
H2719
of the sword,
H2763
utterly destroying
H3498
them. There was no one left
H5397
who breathed.
H8313
He burnt
H2674
Hazor
H784
with fire.
12
H3091
Joshua
H3920
captured
H5892
all the cities
H4428
of those kings,
H4428
with their kings,
H5221
and he struck
H6310
them with the edge
H2719
of the sword,
H2763
and utterly destroyed
H4872
them; as Moses
H5650
the servant
H3068
of Yahweh
H6680
commanded.
13
H5892
But as for the cities
H5975
that stood
H8510
on their mounds,
H3478
Israel
H8313
burned
H2108
none of them, except
H2674
Hazor
H3091
only. Joshua
H8313
burned that.
14
H1121
The children
H3478
of Israel
H7998
took all the spoil
H5892
of these cities,
H929
with the livestock,
H962
as spoils
H120
for themselves; but every man
H5221
they struck
H6310
with the edge
H2719
of the sword,
H8045
until they had destroyed
H7604
them. They didn't leave
H5397
any who breathed.
15
H3068
As Yahweh
H6680
commanded
H4872
Moses
H5650
his servant,
H4872
so Moses
H6680
commanded
H3091
Joshua.
H3091
Joshua
H6213
did
H5493
so. He left
H1697
nothing
H5493
undone
H3068
of all that Yahweh
H6680
commanded
H4872
Moses.
16
H3091
So Joshua
H3947
captured
H776
all that land,
H5045
the hill country,
H5045
all the South,
H5045
all the land
H1657
of Goshen,
H8219
the lowland,
H6160
the Arabah,
H2022
the hill
H3478
country of Israel,
H8219
and the lowland of the same;
17
H2022
from Mount
H2510
Halak,
H5927
that goes up
H8165
to Seir,
H1171
even to Baal Gad
H1237
in the valley
H3844
of Lebanon
H2022
under Mount
H2768
Hermon.
H3920
He took
H4428
all their kings,
H5221
struck
H4191
them, and put them to death.
19
H5892
There was not a city
H7999
that made peace
H1121
with the children
H3478
of Israel,
H2340
except the Hivites,
H3427
the inhabitants
H1391
of Gibeon.
H3947
They took
H4421
all in battle.
20
H3068
For it was of Yahweh
H2388
to harden
H3820
their hearts,
H7125
to come against
H3478
Israel
H4421
in battle,
H2763
that he might utterly
H8467
destroy them, that they might have no favor,
H8045
but that he might destroy
H3068
them, as Yahweh
H6680
commanded
H4872
Moses.
21
H3091
Joshua
H935
came
H6256
at that time,
H3772
and cut off
H6062
the Anakim
H2022
from the hill country,
H2275
from Hebron,
H1688
from Debir,
H6024
from Anab,
H2022
and from all the hill country
H3063
of Judah,
H2022
and from all the hill country
H3478
of Israel:
H3091
Joshua
H2763
utterly
H5892
destroyed them with their cities.
